Designed by Ettore Sottsass in 1978, the 5071 cheese bowl is a refined example of how design can turn everyday objects into true aesthetic icons. Produced by Alessi, it is made of polished 18/10 stainless steel and crystalline glass—materials chosen for their quality, durability, and visual purity.

The transparent glass bowl, placed on a circular steel base, allows easy viewing of the contents, while the polished steel lid includes an opening for the spoon (included), making it practical for use at the table. The clean lines and well-balanced proportions reflect Sottsass’s distinctive design language, focused on simplicity, functionality, and harmony.

Perfect for serving grated cheese in an elegant and practical way, this bowl is also suitable for sugar or spices, becoming a versatile object for both kitchen and table. A small domestic architecture that blends art and function, the result of great Italian design.
